About
An engineering team that works inside yours.
Tanto is an AI consulting firm in Toronto. We do forward-deployed engineering: rather than advising from outside, we work inside your operations, on-site or remotely, alongside the people who run them.
Forward-deployed
What forward-deployed means.
We work inside your operations, with your people and under your access rules. We look at the systems you actually run, not a description of them.
The output is changed systems, not a slide deck. Settings are configured, accounts are cleaned up, and workflows are built and tested with the people who will use them. Each change is something you can check afterwards.
When we step back, your team can run what we built. The configuration, code and documentation stay with you, and the people who maintain them have already worked on them with us.
Who we work with
Businesses that hold their clients’ trust.
The documents your people most want help with are often the ones that carry client confidences. That material has to stay inside systems you control, with access you can explain.
AI arrives without a decision
People try useful tools on their own, sometimes on personal accounts. You need to know what is in use before you can decide what to keep.
IT is already busy
A lean in-house team or an outside provider is already keeping things running. We work alongside them, so what we set up fits how you are actually supported.
Clients are starting to ask
How you use AI on their work is becoming part of how clients choose who to trust. A clear, written answer helps.
How we operate
Four principles we work by.
Specific over general
We name the tool, the account, the setting and the person responsible. General advice about AI does not change how you handle a client file. A specific change to a specific system does.
Your systems, your access rules
We work under the access you grant and no more, read-only wherever that is enough. Client documents stay inside your systems, and your IT team can see what we touched.
Confidential by default
We do not publish client names, client specifics or case studies without written permission. That applies to every engagement.
Leave it running
Every piece of work ends with documentation and a handover to the people who will own it. The systems we build should stay up without us.
The company
The company.
Our first engagement was a technical review of AI tool usage and accounts for a public-sector client.
